Bregman is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman had started each of the last nine contests following a five-game absence with an elbow injury, but he'll be given a day of rest Friday. Mauricio Dubon will occupy the hot corner for Houston.

Devers (shoulder) is batting cleanup as the designated hitter Friday against the Tigers, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Soreness in both shoulders kept Devers out of the lineup for the past three games, but he's back in action for Friday's series opener, although without defensive responsibilities. The 27-year-old was given a rest in the midst of a 3-for-17 slump, and he has a .778 OPS across 22 games in August.

Devers (shoulders) is expected to return to the lineup Friday, MLB.com reports. "Raffy should DH [Friday], DH [on] Saturday and play the field on Sunday," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Thursday.

Devers had been playing through discomfort in both shoulders before sitting out the last three games. It's been a recurring issue since he first tweaked his left shoulder while swinging in a game during spring training. He also hurt his right shoulder in July while diving for a grounder during a game in Colorado. It hasn't impacted his performance at the plate though, and through 517 plate appearances he's posted a career-high .940 OPS with 28 homers and 80 RBI.

Garcia went 2-for-2 with a stolen base, a walk and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Astros.

Garcia singled and stole second in his first trip to the plate, and he was later thrown out while attempting to swipe a second bag after drawing a walk in the fifth. The third baseman has hit safely in four straight games, batting .500 (7-for-14) with three RBI, four runs and three stolen bases. Garcia has also logged multiple hits in three of his last six games.

Clement went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a stolen base in Thursday's win over Boston.

Clement went hitless in his first two at-bats before driving home Addison Barger with a double in the top of the sixth innings to extend Toronto's lead to two runs. The shortstop would later add a single before stealing his 10th base of the season, giving him his seventh multi-hit performances this month. Clement has now driven in nine runs over his last 10 games, though he's batting just .216 (8-for-37) over that stretch.

Bregman was ejected from Thursday's game against the Royals, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Bregman struck out on three pitches in the fourth inning, all of them looking. He took exception with at least one of the calls and departed the game after going 0-for-2. Shay Whitcomb took over at third base.

Westburg (hand) has continued to take one-handed swings and fielding grounders, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Westburg was cleared for the activity Aug. 20 and has continued to do on-field work to avoid getting too rusty as he recovers from a broken hand. He remains in a cast but is expected to return before the regular season concludes.

Jung went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in Thursday's 2-1 win over the White Sox.

Jung stole second base in the fifth inning and then swiped third base in the seventh. It was his first career game with multiple stolen bases, which is no surprise since he entered Thursday's game with only four career steals. The multi-hit game was a welcome sight, as Jung had gone 5-for-30 over his previous eight games. The 26-year-old is hitting .228 in 26 games since his return from injury late in July.

Devers (shoulder) isn't in Boston's lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.

Devers will miss the third game in a row Thursday as he continues to recover from soreness in both of his shoulders. Nick Sogard will get the starting nod at third base in his place, while Mickey Gasper will cover second.

Chisholm went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a stolen base and a walk in a loss to the Nationals on Wednesday.

Chisholm put the Yankees on the board with a second-inning solo shot, but New York scored only once more in the defeat. The long ball was Chisholm's second in his past three games and pushed his season total to a career-high 22. Chisholm has looked fine at the plate since returning from an elbow injury last Friday, going 6-for-22 (.273 average) with four extra-base hits, three runs and three RBI across six contests.
